I want to install signed driver but unfortunately the .inf file does not contain the correct hardware IDs. (incompatible driver) I can install the driver manually like described here:
Force installing incompatible .inf driver in Windows Server 2019 Core
- Right Click Update Driver in Device Manager
- "Browse my computer for computer software”
- “Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer”
- Select “Have Disk…” and point to the driver folder
Now I'm looking for a way to do the same from script or code.
What I've tried so far:
- I've tried to install the driver with
devcon install -r <inf file> <device id>without success (error without any log). - patching the inf file with hardware Ids would break the driver signature and this is therefore not a good solution
- PnPUtil: This adds the driver to the driver store, but because it is not compatible, the driver is not installed
It would also help to have answers or comments to the following questions:
- Where can i get more logs from devcon to see detailed error descriptions
- Can I somehow sign the driver by my self after patching the inf file?
- Any other Ideas what i could try?
